The WorldFish Center is an International
non-profit organization whose
mission is to reduce poverty and
hunger by improving fisheries and
aquaculture. WorldFish is the host for
ReefBase (www.reefbase.org), the
global information system on coral
reefs. This database provides quality information
relevant to the monitoring,
conservation and management of coral
reefs. Our exhibit will display
brochures and database products from
our global and regional projects as well
as information on the activities of the
WorldFish on tropical based and smallscale
fisheries.
EDUCATION CENTER SPECIAL EXHIBIT Our Reefs: Caribbean Connections
Our Reefs: Caribbean Connections, a traveling exhibit, will form the centerpiece of the Education Center display
area. This is produced by Florida State University, updated from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute’s previous
traveling exhibit by its original creators, Drs. Judith Lang and Janie Wulff. Veteran ICRS attendees will remember
the original exhibit which premiered at the 8th ICRS in 1996. In stunning visual display, this exhibit
explores major current challenges to regional reefs and showcases various local Caribbean responses. This special
exhibit is open to the public in Hall A, during exhibit hours.
A movie theater? A running river? Rain? It’s all inside the new Wyland Clean Water Mobile Learning Center. Ready
to roll in any school, community center, or museum, this partially bio-diesel powered, 1,000-square foot exhibit on
wheels will change the way your community looks at water forever.
Become a Clean Water Challenge Agent
Upon entering the mobile learning center students are recruited as CWC agents. A film with special effects begins
their training and they are tasked to solve mysterious disturbances in the health of our nation’s water habitats, with
exhibits focusing on lake regions, river management estuaries, and ocean runoff.
Coral Theater
Venue for FREE educational presentations and demonstrations for teachers, students, and the general public, the
Coral Theater is sponsored by the Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative and the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection Coral Reef Conservation Program. Topics include International Year of the Reef celebrations,
coral reef conservation, Florida coral reef programs, and coral reef educational materials for teachers and students.
